Nhra hates money

[Ron Ortiz]

Being from FL it was always great when the Gators came to town. 128 car fields with half the field being from FL. Then things changed in no particular order,
Fields got smaller.
Need to acquire mucho grade points.
Al Peters rule established. ( no partying after 10:00 )
Lucky if there are 5 cars in Stock from FL.
Entry fee went up.
Register your pit vehicle.
Contingency got smaller.
Surcharge fees.
Food at concession. Costs more taste less.
More circus atmosphere.
These are just some of the things, but there are certain constants.
Bathrooms smell like sulphur.
Scenic parking in the back forty.
Speeding tickets in Waldo for going over just two miles an hour.
Racers wait till the last minute to go to the lanes.
Morning sun at 8:00 am in your eyes.
Waiting to make a run only to get pushed back for different circumstances.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot more scenarios out there, but all these things happen and we still come back for more. Kind of makes you wonder.
